Nahh, I'm waiting for the usual close the thread routine, that they do here, although that's usually the same guy who does that and he hasn't been around.

Meanwhile, back at the thread, while...

I both agree and disagree. Doug Flutie used to speak of "the NFL mould" which meant big body, big school, which discriminated (for the most part but not all) against players that didn't fit that...

You would think that over the past 50 years that might have happened. That's one of the reasons why people think there is some kind of gentleman's agreement or benign conspiracy.

I remember...

I think it can be useful if a QB goes to camp and learns what it takes to be a pro, goes back to USports with an improved understanding of the game and returns the next year with a legit chance to...

Totally agree!

Thank you, I'll buy that, actual reasoning rather than parroting the usual response I have been getting from some in this thread.

Having said that, though, what is your experience may not be the...

I think it would be beneficial and maybe eye opening for some to listen to this interview with Carleton basketball coach Dave Smart talking about the virtues and pitfalls of the NCAA and their...

The first sentence is what this thread is all about even though we've taken some twists and turns. As for why would a Canadian go down south, why wouldn't you if you had a full scholarship and could...

Well I definitely don't believe in conspiracies but I do believe in outmoded thinking (without evidence) and being unaware of present realities over past circumstances and there seems there was quite...

As a mod, feel free to insult, but I hope you remember that when you have your finger on the ban button for others.

And again, I was talking of quality of coaching and training not culture. And...

Except you never provided any evidence, and ironically, I have here for you. And after my quick reading of the article it seemed you seized upon the one who proves your point and I posted about the...

That was a big enough article where we can all cherry pick to support our argument, each guy took away his own experience and as of right now, it looks like it will take one special guy to get the...

Intern Class: U SPORTS QBs to report to CFL training camps

TORONTO — Just because the season’s over doesn’t mean the next crop of CFL hopeful quarterbacks is on summer...

Ferguson: QB interns getting full pro football experience

11) Did the experience make playing in the CFL more or less realistic as a QB?

5) Were you asked to play a role other than QB during camp in drills, pre-season prep etc.?

Here we go, back on topic, with some answers that will prove and disprove the whole premise of this thread. I see some statements in the article below that support my argument and some that do not. ...

Will be interesting to see what happens with the TiCat running backs Timmis and Whitlock. Timmis had a good game and Whitlock fumbled twice, I can only imagine what would happen had that have been...

This I agree with, in many sports. Fans cannot understand why a great talent isn't automatically selected. Sometimes, they just might not fit into a scheme or be a defensive liability or a million...

Whether there is still some bias against Canadian players aside from QBs, I cannot say, but in the old days (70s), and I think I read this in the famous Earl McRae story, coaches would call the...

But that doesn't really mean anything anyway. These are age level sports and who's to say that these kids will advance once they get to college let alone the NFL. There are late bloomers and never...

It did come out internationally when Wisconsin came out and said the whippin' they got from Carleton was a wake up call for them (this was a few years ago) That same year, Carleton lost (in OT) to...

You have proof for such an assertion because during the games they always show a graphic of NFLers with USA Football connections. Sorry, the not playing with best players is the world's lamest...

I was waiting for that, typical. Funny how their commentators don't say that. The good ol' Toronto Canadian inferiority complex still rearing it's ugly head. The 1980's called, they want their...

Maybe it's because people with half a brain can go back and look at past posts and other websites.

Or maybe get training at a place like the one run by Larry Jusdanis. AFAIK he used to work with aspring QBs, I don't know if he still does, and I am sure there are others across the country who do. ...
